01 LARGEST EARTHMOVER

HEY ALL! I plan to post formatted blogs every so often with my favorite machines and gizmos. What better way to start this blog than to post THE LARGEST EARTHMOVER IN THE WORLD!! 

This baby is huge! It was built by the German company Krupp. This shit's ~311 feet tall and ~705 feet long. It took about 10 years to be conceptualized, manufactured, and assembled. Fun fact: it's actually easier to move this machine than dis/reassemble it where it is needed. It travels about 1/3 mi/hr. 

Only five men are needed to get him working! This guy's like, the final boss of earthmovers. I love him.  Check him out on the ROARCH
